A picture to drive home a point!



On Tuesday night I went to the Church on Marshall St in the rain, that serves the homeless.

The more I attend the more comfortable I am getting with the unfamiliar setting.

I don't do we'll around strangers. It takes me some time to get to know folks.

During dinner I got to know one gentleman. We enjoyed a conversation about college. He knew about King college where my son goes to school.

I then proceeded to take note of all the folks I had seen before the last time I was there.

What I struggle with the most, is the fact that when it is all over I get in my nice car and drive home to my lovely wife and comfortable setting.

I walk out to my car and watch men and women scatter into the dark and wet night.

Where do they go?

I pray that that picture will burn in my soul to fuel the path I am on to help end homelessness in Richmond!
